Luton United Synagogue is advising its members to stay away from a pro-Palestine rally due to take place on Saturday.

The rally is due to start at 2pm and will be followed by a cavalcade of cars through the town. 

In a message to congregants, the synagogue said: “The police wish members of our community to be aware of this demonstration and we are advising that you should stay away from the area.”

Jamie Langwith, a Chief Inspector at Bedfordshire Police, told the JC: “We have been liaising with the organisers of a planned protest in Luton town centre tomorrow (Saturday) to provide advice and support to enable those attending to carry out their legal right to a peaceful protest, while ensuring Covid-19 safety measures are in place.
